Ahhhh another day at the office

[MISSINGSTANG]

Had to wait on this one but some of you might have seen this, and those of you that know me know I normally pass on any info I can. This was one hell of a chase and take down, dont believe what you heard on the news HCSO initiated the chase but after that it was my boat and another from st pete in the shit!!!! Read on:

Camera Catches Boat Chase

In the second link with the pic I'm the one in the boat all the way to the right on the wheel, my crew is on the boat effecting the arrest.

what do they have to do before you guys can fire on them? And would they let you use the M2 on the boat?

My friend who is in the coast guard was in Iraq and they let him sink a boat even though he was an engineer at the time

Good work!

Well by him running we start our non complient steps, wich none worked we were waiting on disabling fire auth from the capt of the port. Once he hit the other cg 25 out there it was self defense and we are allowed to defend ourselves however we can. On a side note he fucked up the other 25.

Yeah waiting with the gun loaded and trained on him. When he hit the other 25 they fired a couple of times and when he hit them again they fired again total of 7 times, and we never missed they just didnt penetrate fully. Hcso shot twice but they shot when he was on top of the 25 so I think they were shooting to kill but I didnt talk to them about it we were all segrigated right after.

SPFD does some training with the USCG, I love working with those guys, They're the most underated service out there. Was that FLIR USCG, PCSO, HCSO or Army? Most people don't know how much horsepower is sitting in and around port Tampa.

That was HCSO acutally it was the Sheriff himself flying it. The whole chase lasted about an hour but the new just grabbed the good stuff but they missed the take down. My boat and St pete's boat were first o/s St pete was primary I was secondary so they got on first followed by my guys about 10 seconds later. As for underated yeah we are but this guy wont second guess us again, neither will HCSO their boat may be faster than ours but they cant out manuver us and thats what saved our guys lives, the fact that our boats turn 180 deg at 40 knots. Here's a vid of our boats and how far they can be pushed. Just look at how far we can lay these boats over, I've actually layed them over hard in a corner and had water come in the windows.

squirrely but predictable.

Well first off he never ran aground I put left two of my crew on the boat to drive it back (One BM and one MK) and they just drove away. After hitting the 25 a few times and running over the bow and we still didnt stop, added along with the shots fired at him once he was along the west side of davis island I think he relized he couldnt fit under the bridge and just shut it down. He came to the back of the boat with his hands in the air saying I'm sorry I didnt mean to heart anyone I wasnt trying to hurt you. Ok you RAN OVER THE BOW OF OUR BOAT but you didnt want to hurt anyone?!?!?!?!? But all in all it was a real good job done by all between FWC, us, HCSO, Tampa PD, and the air asset it was a great show of force.

ShakinIt- As for drunk I dont know I was the coxswain on the boat so I couldnt leave I had to keep all of us in good water so I couldnt leave the helm, I put my crew over to effect the arrest, so the only time I really got to see him face to face was when he was siiting in the squad car in cuffs for like 3 hrs, bet that was comfortable. Oh on a side note he was rearested again yesterday and being held in a federal pen with no bail available on charges of assault on a federal officer!!!!
